Aerosmith are the most overrated band of all time

Dream On's neat, but that's about it really. They're annoying on the ears.

  - Well okay, might be a stretch saying RHCP have an impressive legacy
    
    But they're certainly better than Aerosmith.

not sure about the "of all time"...

but yeah, of course they suck. just look at 'em. their singer has always been a charity shop jagger, right down to the sexist song content. When did you just find this out?

I thought they were shit (and still do, really)

but live, they're absolutely fantastic.

thewarn | 3 Jan '13, 08:40 | X | ^ This | Reply
saw them...

... last year. they were pants. endless bar room rock noodling. awful. Tyler does have his charm, tho whether that just stems from the fact he's fucking nuts or not i don't know.

Dream On is a massive tune.

My teenage self

bought Dude Looks Like a Lady (insert confusing brackets yourselves, I can't remember where they go) and that tune is ace. Lyrics might be a bit dodgy, on reflection. And obviously the Run DMC song has a certain amount of historical significance...

But yeah a band it is easy to forget ever existed.

Somebody actually rates Aerosmith?

With the exception of Liv Tyler, their output has always been pretty awful hasn't it?

Nothing to make fun of really, it's like saying Nickelback are overrated.

      - but that song doesn't even fall into the bracket of classic rock
        
        It's more like some American Idol type shit with a guitar solo.

        You're right, it doesn't...
        
        ...it's nasty. Comment was really meant to suggest that Aerosmith on the whole aren't DiS-friendly. That particular song isn't anybody-friendly.

  That song is bloody awful. It's only useful if you want to make a semi-watchable edit of Armageddon: when that song plays, cut the scene.

  if I remember correctly, that track wasn't written by Aerosmith, but by the same person who wrote My Heart Will Go. Unnacceptable.

Alongside Creedence Clearwater Revival

They are America's greatest ever Rock n Roll Band for Me

Rocks, Toys In The Attic, Draw The Line are great albums. Permanent Vacation and Pump were both excellent too. Superb live band.

They have a ton of great tunes.

  - ZZ Top are a dam find band and have written some great stuff but...
    
    Sweet Emotion, Toys In The Attic, Draw The Line< Lick & A Promise, Chip Away The Stone, Same Old Song & Dance, Rag Doll, Simoriah, Walk This Way, Mama Kin, Back In The Saddle, Kings & Queens, Rats In The Cellar, Sick As A Dog, Round & Round are all as good or better than ZZ Top's best work (La Grange, Legs, Cheap Sunglasses, Tush, Gimme All Your Lovin', Sharp Dressed Man, Legs, Just Got Paid) in my opinion.

      I mean they might even have some great songs, but why waste my time investigating them when life isn't even long enough to look back into the REAL good guys, let alone keep up with all this new stuff.

I don't know a single person who likes Aerosmith

I'd say if anything they're possibly underrated. Or I would if they weren't complete shit.

  most of the single people I know are really into their cheesy classic rock. I wonder if there's a correlation?
  
  _TheBeautifulOnes_ @aactv | 7 Jan '13, 09:49 | X | ^ This | Reply
You need to listen to the album Toys In The Attic

Classic rock and roll record. Or most of their 70s stuff to be honest. And a lot of the 80s stuff is great too if a little commercial and cheesy. Even some of the 90s stuff is ok.

In conclusion: no.

Everything they did on drugs (read 70s)

= awesome

Everything they did sober (read 80s onward) = pure horseshit

The 70's stuff is pretty damn great.

Especially Toys in the Attic and Rocks. Great classic rock records.

A very different band to the 'Don't wanna miss a thing' hit makers.

Aerosmith trivia....They made more money from Guitar Hero games than they did from any album.

  Click on my concert link above.
  
  When I was a kid, with all due respect to Bob Segar etc, there were 3 great blue-based American rock 'n roll bands. Led Zep, Rolling Stones and Aerosmith. (Two that happened to be British, wtf)
  
  Click on the link. Aerosmtih were fantastic and awesome and completely fucked up, like rock 'n roll stars ought to be.

Big Ones is an amazing comp

I love some of those late 80's / early 90's tracks. Cryin', The Other Side, Crazy, Living on the Edge, etc - all classics. Tyler's also a phenomenal vocalist. Don't understand how anyone couldn't like Aerosmith tbh, they're an awesome band.
